“Attention: First of all I’m mixed. I’m black to the white guy, and I’m white to the black guy until a racial thing comes into play and then I’m supposed to play the black side. I honestly think it’s ignorant as hell to kill a human being in cold blood without them doing anything especially hand cuffed. I think it’s stupid a man can’t jog without being gunned down. If everyone was seen as people, if everyone was charged the same sentence. This sh** wouldn’t be happening. #BlackLivesMatter We are people too. Like I said before we all need to become one race (Americans). Stop dividing or it will never be solved! I love everyone even if you spit on me I will find it in my heart to let it go! Let’s come together and work this sh** out.”
